A quick note on yesterday’s post. Edward Brook or Brooke witnessed the marriage of Nancy Pryor and Thomas Sands. I think I may have found Edward or perhaps a near relative.
1702 Tithe Table of Southwark Parish, Surry County, Virginia
Nicholas Maggett, Oliver Burke, William Lyle, Edward Bookey, William Cripps, Nicholas Pryor ———————- 3
Mr. William Cocke, Custe and Nanne Negr ———————- 3
Nicholas Pryor is recorded as a headright in 1688 on the ship of Captain Thomas Cocke. We’ve got Nancy Pryor who looks like she’s from the line of Maj. John Pryor of Richmond.
Hmmm…. is Major John Pryor from the line of Nicholas Pryor?
